Zhou Shuwan glanced at the banknotes but didn't pay much attention. He just squatted down and asked, "I want some jade. Do you have any?"

The man was stunned at first, then ecstatically said: "Yes, I have. Back then I..."

He fell silent and continued, "I left them at home. I almost threw them away when I was cleaning up the other day. Wait, I'll go back and get them for you. Little girl, please don't leave..."

They didn't even bother to clean up the stalls and ran towards their homes.

Zhou Shuwan smiled slightly, An Xin and her mother were waiting there.

Zhong Tiyun was a little curious: "Wanwan, how do you know there is jade in his house?"

Zhou Shuwan pointed to the small stall on the ground and said, "Mom, look, he has so much money, it must be at least hundreds of thousands. Someone who kept so much money at home before the apocalypse must not trust the financial system, so he kept all the cash at home. Other investment methods are risky, so I guess he might have hoarded some jewelry and gold at home to preserve their value!"

Zhong Tiyun nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

They didn't have to wait long before the man came again, followed by what seemed to be his wife, who was also running towards them with a child in her arms.

"Girl, girl, open it and take a look. These are of top quality. I bought them at high prices..." He ran up to her panting, and without caring about anything else, he stuffed the heavy box in his hand into Zhou Shuwan's hand.

Zhou Shuwan took it in his hand and opened it, and saw a pile of gemstones and jewelry, as well as a small pile of gold bars.

She closed the box, looked at the child in the wife's arms, and asked, "What happened to him?"

"We went to the hospital and the doctor said it was a viral infection. The conditions were poor and they couldn't find out what virus it was. The child has been running a high fever and the hospital no longer has any fever-reducing medicine. They only have physical cooling methods, so we can only go out and look for it ourselves." The wife burst into tears as she spoke, holding the child, whose face was flushed with fever, tightly in her arms.

The child had been feverishly unconscious, with his eyes half closed and his mouth slightly open. Warm tears oozed from his eyes, and the tears were clearly misty.

This is a sign of a high fever!

Zhou Shuwan tried to take the child's pulse. She had been studying Chinese medicine for more than half a year. Although she was not yet able to diagnose and prescribe medicine for patients, she could diagnose simple colds and sores.

The couple looked at her in surprise and suspicion.

After taking the child's pulse for a while, Zhou Shuwan took out a small bottle of ibuprofen suspension from his backpack and said, "Give it to the child first."

"Thank you, thank you!" The couple were very surprised that she had a whole bottle of ibuprofen in her hand. They thanked her again and again and hurriedly poured the appropriate amount for the child to drink.

There are very few medicines on the market nowadays. On the one hand, it is because many medicines were submerged in water during the floods. On the other hand, it is because the flood waters during the flood season were too toxic. Everyone suffered from serious bacterial infections, fever, vomiting, and diarrhea, which led to the antipyretics, antidiarrheal drugs, anti-inflammatory drugs, etc. on the market being sold out.

"Doctor, you are a doctor, right? Please save my child! Please!" The middle-aged man suddenly knelt down in front of Zhou Shuwan.

"Hey, don't be like this. My girl has only learned a little bit about taking pulses, but she can't treat patients." Zhong Tiyun was a little anxious and hurriedly pulled Zhou Shuwan away.

Zhou Shuwan was very calm. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll take your box of jewelry. In exchange, I'll give you a bottle of ibuprofen and a few boxes of common anti-inflammatory drugs. I can't see a doctor, but you can take these medicines to the hospital and ask the doctor how to take them."

"Okay!" After hesitating for a moment, the couple agreed.

Regardless of whether they can be diagnosed or treated, the lack of medicine is the reason why doctors are helpless in the face of most diseases today.

Anyway, no matter what virus it is, as long as there is anti-inflammatory medicine, it will be fine.

Their movements have attracted other people's attention.

Zhou Shuwan said, "Let's go. I'll go back and get you some medicine."

The child drank ibuprofen, and at least the fever was temporarily stopped.

The couple followed Zhou Shuwan and her daughter and left without even closing their stall.

At the corner, Zhou Shuwan pulled out two boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs and a box of cough suppressants from his backpack. "These two boxes of anti-inflammatory drugs contain half a box of various common anti-inflammatory drugs on the market. The cough suppressants are my gift. You guys pack your things and don't delay. Let's go to the hospital quickly."

"Okay, thank you." The couple thanked him again. The father put all the medicine boxes in his arms, then picked up the child and hurried away with his wife.

Zhou Shuwan's medical skills are only half-baked, but she thinks the anti-inflammatory and cough suppressant she just gave are effective.

When I told Zhou Jianghai about this after returning home, he was very excited: "Great, Wanwan, you can even take people's pulses and prescribe medicine!"

Zhou Shuwan smiled and shook her head: "I'm not sure either. Traditional Chinese Medicine is so extensive and profound. I feel like I'm just getting started now. It will take me many years to master it!"

"It's okay. We just have a headache or fever. There's no need to go see a doctor." Zhou Jianghai comforted.

The jewelry that was exchanged for a few boxes of medicine was well-placed. Zhou Shuwan placed them in the space, and the area of ​​the space expanded by several hundred square meters.

"There's a shortage of medical care and medicine everywhere these days, and after the flood, the virus has intensified. Ordinary anti-inflammatory drugs are less effective." Zhong Tiyun said, "I wonder if the higher-ups have figured out a solution."

Zhou Shuwan said nothing and took Mu Mu to look at medical books.

Mu Mu is now helping with the acupuncture, and her hands are very steady, not like a teenager at all.

They only went to see Doctor Zheng once every three days. Fortunately, Zhou Shuwan had everything in his space, so he found a few dummies for the three of them to practice finding acupuncture points.

A few days later, Zhong Tiyun went to sit with Grandma Pang. When she came back, she said excitedly, "I heard from Grandma Pang that there's a big shed built in Xiguan. It's a newly built market. Many people are doing business there. Xiaoyu wants to take her to see it. Why don't we go and see it together?"

"Okay, let's see if there are any supplies we don't have and exchange some." Zhou Jianghai said immediately.

Nowadays, the supplies on the market are becoming less and less available, and they don’t have to worry about their supplies expiring, so naturally I have to go and take a look.

Nowadays, there are very few people driving on the road. Everyone either walks or finds out their old bicycles or pedal tricycles to ride.

The Zhou and Qi families sent out a pedal tricycle. Qi Mingyu rode one, with Grandma Pang and Mu Mu sitting behind him. Zhou Shuwan and his parents rode two bicycles. Dad Zhou took Zhong Tiyun with him, and Zhou Shuwan rode one by himself.

Even bicycles are not that easy to exchange now.

When people in the community saw that both families bought so many cars at once, they were extremely envious.
